(maybe i'm assuming i386, but anyway)
we're using GMT on RTC chip, as well as in-kernel clocks (struct timeval
time and such) when we use NetBSD. some filesystems (like flashmemory
removed from digital camera) have file timestamps in different timezone
(in my case, JST). so when i mount it with mount_msdos, i will see
file timestamps with 9 hours offset. i would like to see correct
timestamps.
in what layer should we convert filesystem timezone? it should be
configurable, so i guess mount option makes the most sense.
(pardon me if i'm asking a dumb question, i'm not a filesystem/vm guy)
